To calculate the remaining number of teams, use the sequence formula:
a(n) = a(1)Rⁿ-¹
Where a(n) and a(1) are the nth and first terms. R is the factor. Therefore, 24 teams is valid value.
After 5 rounds :
a(5) = 128*(½)⁴
a(5) = 128/16 = 8
8 teams are remained.
Since the problem stated that 7/9 of the participants were from Wisconsin, so 2/9 of it were not from Wisconsin. Now out of 7/9 participants, 3/5 of them were 12 years old, so 2/5 of them are not 12 years old. Since we now know the fractions, we'll get the equation 7/9 x 3/5 multiply 7 and 3 then divide it to the product of 9 and 5 to have the answer of 7/15. 7/15 of the participants of the camp in Green Bay is from Wisconsin and are 12 years old.
Change 13% as a fraction. It will be 13/100
Now, which is bigger? 13/100 or 3/25
Cross multiply and 13/100 is bigger.
13 3
___ X ____
100 25
13×25=325 and 3×100=300. Now you know 13/100 is bigger.
The answer is 13/100
